Set to debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the e-up! will cost a pretty penny as Volkswagen has confirmed it was start at €26,900 ($34,525 / £23,150) with a battery. For comparison, the larger Nissan Leaf starts at €23,790 ($30,520 / £20,515) with a leased battery or €29,690 ($38,105 / £25,605) with a purchased battery. The hefty price tag rewards owners with an electric powertrain that develops a peak output of 82 HP (60 kW) and 210 Nm (155 lb-ft) of torque. It enables the hatchback to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 12.4 seconds, hit a top speed of 130 km/h (81 mph) and travel up to 160 km (99 miles) on a single charge. More importantly, the e-up! has zero CO2 emissions and only costs about €3 ($4 / £2) to travel 100 kilometers (62 miles). The e-up! will be competing in the Silvretta E-Car Rally and additional information will be released at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

(Credit: Volkswagen Group) ] Volkswagen will be participating in this year’s Silvretta E-Car Rally in the Austrian Montafon with an innovative e-up! vehicle, the first electric vehicle from Volkswagen to be produced in high volume. With its Alpine route profile, the rally is both a test of reliability and highly demanding, as the challenge is to recover large amounts of the power used on the long uphill climbs through battery regeneration on the subsequent downhill sections. With a totally electric drive system the e-up! provides an entry point to a new pioneering Volkswagen vehicle concept and with four seats guarantees scope for full utilization. It is a car for everyday use, with impressively high torque of 210 Nm. Practically silent and with no loss of traction during gearshifts, the e-up! is powered by an electric motor that delivers a maximum output of 60 kW / 82 PS. It thus accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 12.4 seconds and achieves a top speed of 130 km/h (80 mph). With its 18.7 kWh lithium-ion battery it has a reach according to NEDC of up to 160 kilometers (100 miles). This means impressively low energy costs of less than $3.6 per 100 kilometers (60 miles). The e-up! can be charged with 2.3 kW plugged into any standard 230V socket, with 3.6 kW via a home-installed wall box or with up to 40 kW plugged into a DC fast-charging station via the optional CSS (combined charging system). In the latter case, the battery is 80 per cent charged in under 30 minutes. The power connection point for charging the battery is concealed as usual under the fuel cap. In the ideal scenario the e-up! will be charged using electricity from regenerative sources and will then be running 100% CO2 neutral. The e-up! differentiates itself from the basic up! model through a high-quality, aerodynamically optimized design. One striking identifying feature externally is the curved arrangement of the LED daytime running lights in the bumper. The front section, sills and underbody have also been aerodynamically enhanced. Burnished 15-inch alloy wheels with low rolling resistance tires. The entry-level price of the e-up! in Germany as an already well-equipped base model inclusive of battery is $32,500. This autumn at the IAA (International Motor Show) in Frankfurt, Volkswagen will announce further details on how the vehicle is to be marketed.

E-Car electrify the Silvretta Rally By Mario Rossi / July 5, 2013 [images] Der neue Volkswagen e-up! Der neue Volkswagen XL1 Volkswagen will be integrating itself to start E-Car Rally this year Silvretta two innovative vehicles: the XL-1, the most efficient production car in the world, powered by a diesel hybrid plug. The other model is the e-up!, The first Volkswagen electric vehicle to be produced in high volume. With this, Volkswagen demonstrates that these alternative management systems are able to have an excellent performance even on Alpine roads. The new e-up! participate for the first time in the E-Car Rally in the region Silvretta Montafon, Austria. With an alpine route profile, the rally is at the same time, a reliability test and requirement, and that the challenge is to recover a large amount of energy used in the long climb up through the regeneration of the battery in the sections where there are declines. With a fully electric driving system, the e-up! serves as a starting point for a new Volkswagen car pioneering concept with four seats that make the whole. It's a car for daily use, with an impressive torque of 210Nm, almost soundless without loss of traction during speed changes. The e-up! is powered by an electric motor that gives maximum power of 60 kW / 82 PS, thus accelerates from 0-100 km / h in 12.4 seconds and achieves a top speed of 130 km / h. Its lithium-ion battery 18.7 kWh, have a duration, according to NEDC, more than 160 kilometers. This means you will have a lower cost 3 euros per 100 kilometers. The e-up! [EV] can be loaded with 2.3 kW connected to any standard 230V socket with 3.6 kW installation wall boxes homemade or 40 kW when connected on a DC fast charging station through the CSS (Combined Freight System, for their acronym in English), in which case 80 percent of the battery will be recovered in less than 30 minutes. The plug for charging battery is placed where it is usually the gas cap. In an ideal scenario, the e-up! will be charged with electricity from regenerative sources and then could neutralize 100% of its CO2 emissions.
